The 63rd ICCA Congress is scheduled to take place in Abu Dhabi, UAE, between October 20th and 23rd, presenting an opportunity to unite the global community. From the spectacular launch on the final day of last year’s ICCA Congress in Bangkok, until the moment Congress begins at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC), everything in the coming months is geared towards delivering a world-class event for ICCA members, one that will resonate throughout the industry, and beyond.
Working closely with wonderful hosts – Abu Dhabi Convention and Exhibition Bureau (ADCEB) and the Department of Culture and Tourism Abu Dhabi – ICCA will deliver a Congress full of vibrancy, state-of-the-art spectacle, hugely enjoyable social events, and thought-provoking content with the scope to shape, inspire, and influence the way we think, plan, and do international events.
The 63rd ICCA Congress theme is Tomorrow Starts Today which aptly reflects the untameable can-do spirit of our industry, an industry that makes change happen through global collaboration, fresh ideas, new relationships, and generating opportunities for all. Four Congress pillars allows to create a distinctive content programme covering relevant industry-focussed topics:
– Technology and Innovation (including AI and Blockchain)
– Sustainability and Environmental Impact
– Cultural Awareness & Social Impacts (including Legacy and DEI)
– Business Trends & Growth (including Sales & Marketing)
ICCA CEO Senthil Gopinath: “The 63rd ICCA Congress will be a Congress for ages. A Congress designed to matter. Last year the introduction of Sharing Hubs allowed us to put member needs at the forefront of our programme, and this is something we can now expand upon, bringing content that creates tangible results. I am excited at what our team and partners are promising to deliver. And what a place to do this! Abu Dhabi is a hub of possibility, an example of what is achievable when ideas and energy and passion become intrinsically linked.”
Participants can also enjoy the culture, the hospitality, the stunning sun-kissed backdrop, the amazing venues, the luxury hotels, the dramatic excursions promising adventure in the dunes or by the glistening sea, the ease of getting from a to b and back again, the latest technology, the spirit of internationalism in a gleaming metropolis where the world comes to work and play, the dramatic blend of stunning contemporary architecture and ancient precious tradition.
Abu Dhabi will over promise and over deliver, using Congress as a significant contributor to Abu Dhabi’s Vision 2030, which sets out a clear strategy around sustainability, education, and career growth. The 63rd ICCA Congress will do everything it can to upstage every other ICCA event.
